Mumapo, as time goes by, Pang De has always been like a nail on the Muma slope, these days, can already clearly feel Han Sui's anxiety, almost at all costs, to capture Mumapo, even Beidi County Gao Shun, Zhang Liao joined forces to occupy Lingzhou without scruples, under Han Sui's desperate style of play, Pang De defended for ten days, for a general who served as a commander for the first time, it was almost a miracle.

Defending a city is different from defending a city, the city has a strong wall to rely on, but the military camp can only rely on wooden equipment such as Diao Dou, which is very fragile, and the protection is not the same as that of the city.
"General, retire! If we continue to fight, these brothers will have to be defeated. A general with a broken arm found Pang De, Ma Dai and Ma Chao who were inspecting the camp with the support of his subordinates, without a trace of blood, with a trace of pain and despair on his face: "I followed the lord all the way from Jincheng, eight thousand Jincheng soldiers, left here, now there are less than a thousand left, at the beginning we came with them to follow the lord, now Han De is gone, the other brothers who came out together, now there are only a few of us who are alive now, eight thousand people from Jincheng, until now, even eight hundred is not enough, How do you ask me to explain to their families!? ”
Pang De and Ma Chao glanced at each other, and the corners of their mouths were a little bitter, not to mention Jincheng? The 45,000 people left by Lu Bu at the beginning are barely alive now, and aside from the seriously injured, even 8,000 are not enough for those who can fight.
Taking a deep breath, Pound's gaze swept over the surrounding group of soldiers who gathered over, and he slowly spoke, with a bit of tragedy in his deep voice.
"People always die." Pound looked at everyone, suppressing the helplessness and resentment in his chest: "Some are lighter than a feather, some are heavier than Mount Tai, we can retreat, but do you know that if we retreat, what does it mean?" ”
"It means that those Huns will no longer be afraid, they can go straight into Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang, and the entire Xiliang, how the Huns treat the Han people, I don't think I need to say, everyone should know very well that once we retreat here, everyone can certainly save their lives, but our families, our hometown, will cry and wail under the iron hooves of the Huns, our heirs will be brutally killed by the Huns, and our wives will be spoiled by the Huns!"
"Maybe, people don't know." Pang De looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Eight days ago, the lord took 5,000 men and horses deep behind the enemy and annihilated 30,000 Hun troops successively. ”
"This battle is not what the lord wants to fight, but we have to fight!" Pound looked at everyone and said aloud: "Even if we know that there may be no tomorrow, but for the peace of Xiliang, for our hometown not to be poisoned by the Hu people, even if we have no weapons, we will fight with our fists, kick with our feet, and bite with our teeth, we will drag the Huns here, not for the lord, nor for my Pound, but for our hometown!" We can't retreat, and there's no way back! ”
Beigong Li walked from a distance, looked at the many Qiang Breakers around him, and angrily raised the Zaoyang lance in his hand and roared: "Qiang Qiang, fight to the death and never retreat!" ”
"Fight to the death!" Hundreds of Qiang warriors raised their weapons and let out an earth-shattering roar.
Ma Chao's face sank like water, he took a step forward, pulled out the sword at his waist, and said in a deep voice: "If you dare to retreat again, cut it!" ”
A group of people retreated silently, at this moment, no one said to retreat, things have been said very clearly, this battle is no longer for Lu Bu, let alone an illusory righteousness, but for themselves, even if they die in battle, they can't retreat, retreat, it's all over, born in the borderland, they know very well what the consequences will be once the Huns drive straight in, even if they surrender Han Sui, Han Sui may not be able to control these Huns at this moment.
"A few generals, the military advisor is invited!" Xiong Kuohai came over at this time, looked at Pang De and Ma Chao, and said in a deep voice.
Several people glanced at each other, and followed the majestic sea in the direction of the handsome tent, Li Ru would not take the initiative to meddle in military affairs on weekdays, but everyone knew that this military advisor, in this military camp, has a very transcendent status, even if he is a rebellious person like Ma Chao, he is now respectful to Li Ru.
"Sir, what are you waiting for me?" Soon, the four of them followed Xiongkuohai into the tent of the Chinese army commander, but saw Li Ru holding a sheepskin roll and looking at it, with a little excitement on his face, which was not as cold and calm as usual.
"The news sent back by the lord." Li Ru suppressed the excitement in his heart, and handed the parchment roll to Pang De: "Five days ago, the lord went deep into the Hetao and persuaded the Yueshi people to send troops, first breaking the northern marshal to stay behind the main force, and then leading the snake out of the hole, breaking the 30,000 army of the Xiongnu royal court in the area of Jilu Village, and even breaking the camp of Zuoxian Wang, now the news may have been transmitted back, I believe that it will not be long before the Huns will automatically retreat!" ”
"What!?" A look of shock flashed in Ma Chao's eyes, he snatched the parchment roll from Pang De's hand, looked at it quickly, and after a long time, he took a deep breath, looked at Li Ru, put away the shock in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Is the news reliable?" ”
"It was sent by the lord's personal guard." Li Ru smiled.
"Great!" Pang De waved his arm heavily, and said excitedly: "As long as the Huns go, Pang De will only have 50,000 people here, as long as the two generals Gao Shun and Zhang Liao go north and form a corner with our army, so that Han Sui can't take care of both the end and the end, and when the lord returns to the division, this battle will be won!" ”
Li Ru didn't speak, and announced Lu Bu's news, just to boost morale, but everyone knew that even if Han Sui didn't have the Huns to help him fight, but the main force of the attack these days has always been the Huns and the Qiang people, Han Sui's losses are actually not big, they can think of this problem, how could Han Sui not think of it, I'm afraid that the next step is when this battle is really tragic.
At the same time, Han Sui camped.
"Lord, at this rate, as long as there are two more attacks, the Mu Pang De camp can be broken!" In the camp, Liang Xing excitedly said to Han Sui: "At that time, our army will be able to drive straight in, recover Jincheng, Longxi, Hanyang and even the five counties of Anding and Beidi, and regain Xiliang." ”
"This battle is not easy!" Han Sui sighed and nodded, but there was some bitterness in his heart, although he won, but he led the Huns to Koubian, this reputation was completely defeated, and then he had to find a way to drive these Huns away, but in the end what remained was a broken Xiliang, I am afraid that the next ten years will not be able to recover the vitality, after the victory of this battle, when we find a way to annex Guanzhong, as many as we can get, only rely on Xiliang, not to mention the future and the Kwantung princes to fight against each other, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect themselves, after this battle, Han Sui has not been allowed in the world.
"Lord, it's not good!" At this moment, Li Kan rushed in in with a panicked face and shouted in a panic.
"What's the matter? What kind of system is panicking? Seeing Li Kan, Han Sui was a little angry, and snorted coldly angrily.
"Those Huns don't know what's going on, and all of a sudden they're going to pull out the camp, saying they're leaving!" Li Kan said anxiously.
"What?" Han Sui frowned slightly: "Do you know why?" ”
"This ...... The cause has not been found. Li Kan was stunned and shook his head.
Rubbish!
Han Sui glared at Li Kan dissatisfied, stood up and said, "Let's go, go and see." ”
The group hurriedly came to the Hun camp with the guards, but saw that as Li Kan said, the Huns were packing on the hour, Han Sui led someone to find Liu Meng, and wondered: "What's going on?" ”
"Lu Bu instigated the Yue clan to rebel and attacked our royal court, we must rush back immediately to rescue the royal court." Liu Meng glanced at Han Sui, with a little displeasure.
At the beginning, he integrated three 50,000 Hun iron cavalry, and now there are less than 30,000, Liu Meng can see it, this Han Sui is not good, these days, the most dead are their Hun soldiers, even if there is no matter of the royal court, Liu Meng is not willing to continue to be cannon fodder for Han Sui, and now that the royal court is in trouble, there is a reason to retreat, of course Liu Meng will not stay.
"Lu Bu!? In the Loop!? When Han Sui heard this, his eyes widened in disbelief, he had also heard that Lu Bu had destroyed the Huns overnight, but after all, it was a sneak attack, although he defeated the Huns head-on, but Han Sui didn't care too much.
Unexpectedly, Lu Bu ran to the Hetao quietly, and looking at Liu Meng's appearance, Hu Chuquan was probably suffering a big loss in the hands of Lu Bu, and he also recruited the Yue family......
Seeing Liu Meng leave without looking back, Han Sui's brows gradually furrowed, if the Huns retreated and Lu Bu returned with the Yue people, this battle would be difficult to fight!
At this moment, a small colonel suddenly came to Han Sui's side in a hurry, looked around, leaned into Han Sui's ear and whispered: "Lord, just now came to the news from Tanma, Gao Shun and Zhang Liao, who were guarding Beidi, abandoned Beidi County and were heading towards Mumapo. ”
Han Sui suddenly turned around, caught up with Liu Meng and said, "When did this happen?" ”
"Three days ago!" After Liu Meng replied in a muffled voice, he ignored Han Sui and beckoned the warriors of his tribe to quickly pack up and prepare to return to the royal court.
"Lord, ...... now" Liang Xing turned his head and looked at Han Sui.
"Let's go!" Han Sui turned around and left, this battle must be won before Lu Bu returns, otherwise he will probably be consumed here on the day Lu Bu returns.
Halfway through, Han Sui thought about it and said to Li Kan: "Send someone to inform Cheng Yin, and transfer another 50,000 people over!" ”
"Whoa!" Li Kan agreed without hesitation, and immediately turned around and left.
That night, the Huns left overnight, and when they left, they also snatched a piece of grain that Han Sui had just delivered, and Han Sui was so angry that he almost vomited blood, and now what he lacks most is food, these damn Huns! (To be continued.) )
